SUMMARY:October 25\, 2011 - Business and Families First Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:We need your help to create an ACTION PLAN on\n\nhow we can do better for Surrey Families and Business\n\nIf a strong community creates a strong economy then there's no time like the present to begin talking about strategic investments and initiatives in Surrey that will strengthen both our growing number of families with young children and the business sector now and in the future.\n\n \n\n The Business Perspective:\n\n"Work-life conflict among employees with preschool age children costs the BC business community in excess of $600 million per year\, and the Canadian business community in excess of $4.5 billion.  These costs include employee turnover\, absenteeism and health care premiums." Warren Beach\, CFO\, Sierra Systems & Dr. Paul Kershaw\, Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) at UBC\n\n \n\nIt's a costly issue:\n\nHealth Canada estimates that when work and family demands collide\, it costs Canadian businesses up to $10 billion a year to cover the cost of absent workers or hire/re-train new employees for those who leave.
